Excerpt from Improvement Era, Vol. 3: July, 1900 In the beginning of the seventeenth century, a band of Eng lish people was seeking religious freedom in the land of their birth. The world was beginning to awaken from a long sleep - to emerge from a long night of darkness. The spirit of liberty was struggling to get from under the power that had bound the consciences of men. Among the many seekers after this religious freedom was the Separatists of England. Not content with the form of worship in the Church of England, they had severed their connection with that body and had organized congregations of their own, but the powerful hand of the law came upon them, and they were hunted, persecuted 'and clapped in prison. At last they escaped to Holland, where they lived in peace for twelve years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
